Best way to eat avocado?

Sliced on a BLT instead of mayo.

^^^ This. I didn't know a BLT could be more awesome until I did this. Holy crap, is it good.

But yeah, any way you can fit the avocado into your mouth is a good way to eat them. Alton Brown even substituted them for eggs and made ice cream with them.

Bump.

Pasta sauce! Easy peasy, and you can eyeball everything and customize to your liking.

Just combine avocado, garlic, fresh lemon or lime juice, salt, and pepper (I also add cayenne) in a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Mix the sauce with the hot pasta and you are good to go.

I'm not huuuge fan of cilantro, but that and lime juice would probably be tasty.

I am so totally going to have to try this!

healthy splash of lime and sprinkle on a little salt and a lot of pepper.

I like them chopped up in a salad, or a slice in an english muffin with a slice of tomato and a fried egg for breakfast. Make guacamole. Add a slice to a veggie burger. Eat plain. Lots of possibilities!

Yum, this sounds awesome.

Duh, I was supposed to be quoting the smoothie post.

LOve avocado!!! Use it in many ways already mentioned in previous posts but I came across a very unusual avocado recipe a while ago - it was for 'vegan chocolate pudding' made with avocado and cocoa powder and a bit of honey mixed in a blender. Don't have the exact reipe on hand right now but it was very tasty and now I have to go look up the recipe and make some.....:laugh:

It can't be vegan if it has honey in it...did you mean "vegetarian"?

I've never eaten an avocado in my life and I recently bought one. So I was wondering what would be the best and yummiest ways to try it out?

I try not to have left overs as the air will turn it black. If you must save it, wrap it in plastic with most of the air removed.
Also the avocado should just start to give when you squeese it gently. Thats when you know its ready to use. If its not ripe enough it will be hard. Too ripe and it will have black spot in it~yuck. Just set it on the counter until you guess it time.

Let us know how it went.

I love avocado and can eat it most of these ways (except plain, strangely enough). Lately though, my favorite is to make it into a salad dressing: blend it up with some lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno, garlic, buttermilk, salt and pepper. We eat a big garden salad topped with corn and shredded chicken with this dressing for a quick and tasty dinner.

I HAVE to do this^

So many ways to eat avocado As a snack you could slice it in half and sprinkle a little salt and pepper and just eat it with a spoon. I love to do this! Also you can slice it and put with salad or a sandwich. And I had some last night sliced and put into veggie chili! YUM! I've also used avocado as the fat substitute to make brownies. I don't remember how I made them but I remember they were delicious! And of course there's always guacamole.
